Chapter 350(1/2)
White Horse Food Trough
Yong'an City is effective, Cao's army camp.
Cao Cao woke up from nothingness and saw a chaotic surrounding. He opened his eyes hard and could not see any clear scene. Only things like clouds and fog floated endlessly around.
"Where is this?" Cao Cao muttered softly, raised his head and shouted, "Is anyone?"
Only the echoes of Niao Niao sounded endlessly from all around, but no one responded. When Cao Cao was at a loss, a loud neighing sound suddenly sounded behind him. When he looked back quickly, the smoke and clouds disappeared. A very magical white horse was leisurely eating the grass in the manger in the sky. The wind was flying in the sky. The white mane behind the horse's neck rose like a wave, revealing a heart-pounding and fierce look.
When Cao Cao was just ignorant of watching, the surrounding mountains suddenly collapsed and the ground broke.
"No!"
Cao Cao screamed, turned over and sat up quickly, only to realize that it was just a dream in Nan Ke, but his underwear was completely wet, and he seemed to have just crawled out of the water.
"Father!" An anxious shout rang out of the tent, and a figure flashed. Cao Zhen had already stepped into the tent with his sword, "Father, what's wrong with you?"
"Huh..." Cao Cao shook his hand at Cao Zhen and sighed, "I just had a dream just now."
"Dream?" Cao Zhen said in surprise, "What dream?"
"Nothing." Cao Cao said, "Zi Dan, go and invite the military advisor."
"Boy obeys the order."
Cao Zhen took the order and left. In less than a moment, he led Zhuge Liang into Cao Cao's tent. Zhuge Liang bowed to Cao Cao and said aloud: "See lord."
"Kong Ming is not etiquette." Cao Cao waved his hand and asked, "I heard that Kong Ming is good at interpreting dreams?"
Zhuge Liang said: "I know one or two things."
"That's good." Cao Cao said, "I just had a dream and wanted to ask Kong Ming whether it was a good omen or a bad omen."
Zhuge Liang said: "Please speak with lord."
Cao Cao said: "In my dream, Gu saw a divine white horse, leisurely eating the forage in the manger in the sky, and then suddenly the sky collapsed and the earth broke. Gu woke up by this."
Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment and said, "Cat is Cao, a metaphor for the lord! Horse is Ma, Bai, and Jin, and White Horse is Jin Ma Chao! White Horse eats Cao, but it is actually Jin Ma killing Cao, which is a sign of great danger!"
"What? The Jinma kills Cao!" Cao Zhen said horrifiedly, "Does the military advisor refer to the Jinma Chao of Xiliang?"
Zhuge Liang said: "Mengzhao warns that the lord attacking Sichuan is likely to be defeated by Ma Chao, so it is better to withdraw the troops as soon as possible."
"Hey." Cao Cao said disapprovingly, "I never believed in these ghosts and gods in my life. Isn't it a bit alarmist, right?"
Zhuge Liang said: "Liang just interprets dreams based on what he has learned. Listening or not listening depends entirely on the lord's decision."
"I'm alone." Cao Cao said, "Kong Ming, go back to the tent and leave."
"Liao retreated."
Zhuge Liang bowed to Cao Cao and turned around and left the tent.
Watching Zhuge Liang leave, Cao Zhen said to Cao Cao: "Father, the child thinks what the military advisor says is reasonable. Yong'an's city is solid and it may be difficult to conquer it in a hurry. And Ma Chao, Jin of Xiliang, may arrive in Xichuan at any time. Why not withdraw his troops as soon as possible?"
"Oh." Cao Cao sighed and shook his head, "Zi Dan, time doesn't wait for anyone. If you can't seize Xichuan now and wait for the butcher Ma to free up his hands from Huainan, there will be no chance!"
Cao Zhen said: "But the child thought that as long as he could join forces with the Eastern Wu and then rely on the natural danger of the Yangtze River to fight against the strong Liang, there might not be no chance to turn defeat into victory. As long as he could turn defeat into victory in the battle of the Yangtze River, the situation mentioned by the military advisor would appear. At that time, the states under the rule of Ma Butcher Ma fell into turmoil, and it would not be too late for his father to raise an army to attack Sichuan again."
"Scholarly!" Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Do you really believe Kong Ming's scholar's views?"
Cao Zhen said in a speechless manner: "This..."
Cao Cao sighed: "Although Kong Ming was extremely talented, he was still young and had never been on the battlefield. He didn't know how powerful the Ma Butcher and the Xiliang army were! Even if he joined forces with the Eastern Wu, even if there was a natural danger in the Yangtze River, even if the coalition forces had an absolute advantage, would he really be able to withstand the Xiliang army of Ma Butcher?"
Cao Zhen said: "Can't it?"
"Of course not!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice, "Since the 23-way coalition forces attacked the horse, the style of Ma Butcher's behavior has changed greatly. He changed his surprise victory and liked to take risks. His troops became calm and heavy, and he could not miss it. Kong Ming claimed that he had a clever plan to make the Liang army defeated without defeat. It was nothing more than a surprise attack such as flooding, fire attacks or plagues. But Ma Butcher had never seen anything in a hundred battles, how could he be fooled?"
Cao Zhen was silent.
Cao Cao suddenly took out an edict from his sleeve and handed it to Cao Zhen.
Cao Zhen reached out to take it and asked in confusion: "Father, what is this?"
"This is a will of isolation." Cao Cao said, "This attack on Sichuan is very bad. If there is a mistake in the lonely, you will inherit the territory and title."
"Father!" Cao Zhen hurriedly bowed to the ground, held the edict with both hands, and said in a trembling voice, "The child definitely dared not obey his orders."
"Zi Dan." Cao Cao sighed, "If a person has no future, he will have immediate worries. If he is alone, he must make plans early."
"Father."
Cao Zhen trembled when he heard this and looked at Cao Cao without saying a word for a long time.
The next day.
It was dim and endless horns sounded in the Cao army camp. Teams of Cao army soldiers rushed out of the camp and advanced outside the east gate of Yong'an to set up a formation.
Cao Cao was wearing a brocade robe, surrounded by Tibetan Ba, Yu Jin, Cai Zhong, Cai He, Wang Wei, Huang Zhong, Li Yan, Zhuge Liang and others, and barely stepped out of the battle. Suddenly, he heard the sound of thunderous horse hooves sounded from the back. When he looked back quickly, he saw an iron cavalry rushing out of the distant dense forest like a ghost in the thin morning light, and came over like a rushing lightning.
In front of the Iron Cavalry formation, a white white horse was running with its hooves. On the back was a majestic Western Liang general, with a silver armor and silver robe, holding a long spear in his hand, and a lion-headed ghost-faced helmet. The white mane behind his head was undulating like waves. Although hundreds of steps apart, Cao Cao could still clearly feel the fierce aura!
Behind the general of Xiliang, a blood-colored flag was fluttering in the wind, and the flag was embroidered with a ferocious and uplifting word "Ma".
Seeing this scene, Cao Cao's face changed drastically. Ma Chao turned out to be Ma Chao!
Suddenly, the terrifying nightmare of last night appeared in front of Cao Cao again, and Zhuge Liang's words echoed in his ears: "The white horse eats the trough, which is really a brocade horse killing Cao!"
Yu Jin was shocked and said in a lost voice: "Master, it's Ma Chao!"
"Kill kill..."
As Yu Jin finished speaking, the closed Yong'an East Gate suddenly opened, and the black Xiliang infantry had already rushed out.
The Zangba rushed forward and shouted, "It's urgent, lord can return to the camp quickly!"
The Tibetan ruler followed Cao Cao for many years and fought with the Liang army for more than a hundred. He knew the power of Ma Chao and the Western Liang Iron Cavalry. On the empty plains, it was difficult for Cao's army to withstand the assault of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry. What is particularly hopeless is that the Cao army did not expect that Ma Chao's Western Liang Iron Cavalry would suddenly come out from the back at this time, and there was no preparation at all!
"No!" Zhuge Liang said anxiously, "If you retreat hastily at this time, you will be defeated!"
The Tibetan Ba said angrily: "The Liang army has the advantage of its military strength, and there are two thousand Western Liang cavalry. Our army has no preparation in a hurry. If we fight hard, we will definitely lose!"
"Lord, don't panic!" As soon as Cao Cao finished speaking, the powerful general Huang Zhong of Jingzhou suddenly shouted loudly, "Ma Chao is a man, I'll take his life!"
Before he finished speaking, Huang Zhong had already led his infantrymen to attack Ma Chao.
Cao Cao could not stop him, so he had to go to Wei Yan. Li Yan said: "General Huang Zhong is probably not the enemy of Ma Chao. The two generals can lead their troops to meet him."
"Abide by the order!"
"Abide by the order!"
Wei Yan and Li Yan responded loudly and led their troops to go.
Huang Zhong urged the horse to advance quickly, and two thousand elite soldiers in Nanyang followed Huang Zhong like shadows and followed Huang Zhong to the sweeping Xiliang Iron Cavalry fearlessly. When the two armies were still two hundred steps apart, Huang Zhong took the bow and arrow and shot a arrow into Ma Chao's face. Ma Chao suddenly saw a flash of cold light in front of him, and quickly dodged sideways. A sharp wolf-toothed arrow had already swept across his cheek.
Huang Zhong shot an arrow in the air and then pulled three sharp arrows on the string. While urging the horse to move forward, he shouted: "Eat another arrow!"
After saying that, three arrows left the string at the same time, and shot towards Ma Chao's throat, chest, and abdomen like lightning. A cold smile appeared on the corner of Ma Chao's mouth. The silver spear in his hand swung out at a surprising speed. In an instant, a faint trace was drawn in front of him. Only three "clanging" sounds were heard, and the three sharp arrows shot by Huang Zhong had all fallen.
In just a moment, the two riders were less than fifty steps apart!
"Damn it!" Huang Zhong saw that the bow and arrow could not hurt Ma Chao, so he had to return the bow to the sheath, lifted up the phoenix-mouthed sword and shouted, "Let's try a certain knife?"
"Hmph!" Ma Chao said coldly, "Then let's take the call!"
The two riders met in an instant.
Huang Zhong shouted loudly, and the phoenix-mouthed sword was like a green rainbow that penetrated Ma Chao's waist and slashed across Ma Chao's waist. Ma Chao raised his gun and gently lifted it. With a crisp sound of "ding", Huang Zhong's phoenix-mouthed sword had already swung high and whizzed past Ma Chao's head. The next moment, Ma Chao's silver spear had come out of the hole like a poisonous snake, striking out of the vital part of Huang Zhong's throat and stabbed fiercely.
"not good!"
Huang Zhong shouted loudly and drowned his body. He immediately felt a burning pain on his shoulders, and a slight sound sounded in his ears. When he looked back quickly, his left shoulder armor and the armor-swallowing beast had been picked up, and large pieces of flesh and blood were taken away from his shoulders. Cold white bones suddenly appeared on the hideous wound, and then red blood splashed out.
Huang Zhong was still in shock, and his cold murderous intent suddenly came from the tide ahead. When he looked up, more than a dozen sharp guns fell into the air.
Huang Zhong said a harshly, and hurriedly raised the Phoenix-mouth knife to block it. The left arm, which did not want to be injured, had completely lost consciousness, which seriously affected the speed and strength of the sword. After barely blocking the seven guns, he finally failed to block the other guns' stabs. With the crisp sound of sharp blades splitting open the flesh, Huang Zhong's mount was shot dozens of times, and fell to the ground dejectedly, throwing Huang Zhong off the horse's back.
Before Huang Zhong got up, dozens of guns were thrown into the air and nailed Huang Zhong to the ground. The next moment, the tide-like Western Liang Iron Cavalry rushed over, and in an instant he stepped on Huang Zhong, who had not yet died, into flesh mud. Poor a tiger general who could ride and shoot, had not had time to display his martial arts, and he became the unjust soul under the iron hoof of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry.
The two horses crossed, and Ma Chao ignored Huang Zhong and rushed straight into the riot army to kill Cao Cao.
In any case, Ma Chao has only one goal, he is Cao Cao!
The two Jingzhou junior colleges were the first to be hit. Before they could swing the long sword in their hands, they had already become Ma Chao's souls under the gun. The two infantry soldiers following Jingzhou junior college were also knocked away by the mounts under Ma Chao's crotch. The iron armor on Ma Chao's mount was covered with ferocious spikes. Before they were knocked away, the two infantry had already been pierced through their bodies by spikes.
The unstoppable Ma Chao was like a sharp knife, easily cutting into the Nanyang army.
The Western Liang general Han De led three hundred armored cavalry closely behind. The gap torn by Ma Chao quickly expanded and spread. The two thousand Nanyang troops were in a mess in an instant. Then, the rushing group of iron cavalry finally arrived and threw a gun at the head and faced. The Nanyang troops fell down in an instant, and the remaining ones who were lucky enough to die turned around and fled.
The two thousand elite soldiers in Nanyang that Huang Zhong was proud of almost collapsed after a moment of contact!
The Western Liang Iron Cavalry is very fierce, and the attack of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry led by Ma Chao is particularly sharp! The tactics that Ma Chao is best at attacking, attacking, and attacking again! Ma Chao's attack is like a storm, which is unbearable. The enemy he faces with is not even too late to react, and he is completely stunned by the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, just like the two thousand Nanyang soldiers now.
Cao's army was central.
Yu Jin's face changed drastically, and he turned to Cao Cao and said, "Lord, General Huang Zhong is dead in battle!"
"Master!" As soon as Yu Jin finished speaking, Zangba shouted again, "Huang Zhong's defeated troops disrupted the subsequent army's formation. The Western Liang Iron Cavalry took advantage of the situation to rush to kill. Wei Yan and Li Yan could no longer resist! Lord, withdraw the troops back to the camp. Only by using the strong fence of the camp can we resist the attack of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry. There is only a dead end to stay here!"
"Lord." As soon as Zangba finished speaking, Wang Wei said again, "The defenders in Yong'an City are also pressing forward!"
The Zangba was so anxious that he was about to jump up: "Lord, order the withdrawal of troops quickly!"
